It’s Tuesday May 23, 2006, and we may get a little boost in the market after several days of it being punch drunk. Investors should see this as an opportunity to do some bottom fishing as the sell off is based on the fear of interest rate hikes but it’s a sell off across the board and there are companies that are at a deep discount right now. So this is where due diligence comes into play.

The much anticipated Vonage IPO will be priced at some point tonight and they are doing something unique and offering their long time customers the opportunity to get a piece of the pie. They are offering the IPO to their most loyal customers and this pure play on Voip has come analyst on the fence. With AT&T (NYSE: T), Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S), CableVision (NYSE: CVC), TimeWarner (NYSE: TWX), Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and others setting up the triple play and moving towards the quadruple play, which includes television, Voip and Internet, some think that the competition will be stiff for Vonage. But in actuality this is a very important IPO as it will paint a good picture of the interest on the street for pure play Voip companies.

Saving Money with Credit Cards
Having a credit card is a wonderful convenience for those times when you don't have immediate access to your cash. It can allow you to purchase something on time for which you can pay later, thereby giving you the ability to afford something NOW that you'd have had to save for later. But buying on credit will also cost you money - in that way it's no different than taking out a loan to buy something that you want. There are, however, ways to save money when you buy with credit cards.0% Balance TransfersOne of the most common ways to save money with credit cards is by transferring your balance from a high interest credit card to one with a low or no-interest card. It's easy to illustrate your savings there. If you are carrying a balance of $1000 on a credit card that has a 19% APR and transfer it to one that offers 0% introductory APR for 9 months and a 15.9% regular rate, here's how your savings stack up:Interest on old card f

Identity Theft Exploding: Here's How You Can Avoid Becoming A Victim
Americans are more concerned about identity theft than unemployment or corporate fraud, according to a survey of 2,000 people conducted by Star Systems.Nine out of ten Americans demand new federal legislation, while two-thirds say the financial services industry needs to do a better job of verifying the identity of customers who open bank accounts (66 percent) and credit card accounts (72 percent).Some 5.6 percent of respondents reported being victims of identity theft, which translates to 12 million people. When debit and credit card fraud and identity theft were combined, close to 15.9 percent of consumers say they have been the victim of one of these crimes.
